Took my first ride on my new Scott Spark FS 29er - I am blown away!After more than 20 years riding Cannondales, I have finally decided to try something new: the Scott technology has always impressed me, so I thought I would give the Scott Spark a chance. In many regards, both FS 29er cannot even begin to compare.

It's been a long day, but needless to say, "the ride" of the month for sure.

I tried the XX1 cranks with XX rear for about 20 days (while waiting for the XD/XX1 driver for the rear to come in). The chain didn't drop once!Roots... Huge downhill rock gardens... Jaw breakers... I am more worried about my old age, but not at all worried about the chain dropping. It's super quiet too, and of course, without a front chain guide. The XX1 rear has given me more climbing ease for really steep and long stuff, but I can get pretty close to that with a 28T (on order).

Just curious on your set up. I'm running 1X10 on my Pivot, with a 32 up from and 11/36 rear. The 32 sucks climbing, which we do a lot of in So Cal. Have you found yourself spinning out with the 30? I've debated making the change but I fear spinning out on descents.

Thanks

PS - Awesome bike.

I spin out on the road with the 30T up front on slight downhill like a faux plat, but this is a mountain bike; I try to avoid roads. The 10-42 never let me spin out, but it's all a compromise - I am sticking with a 11-36. In fact, I am going with a 28T up front because of the long hills. After mile 30+, it's nice to have something a little easier for hills.

For a real downhill, in the woods, or open land... I never spin out: I just let gravity take over, and am known to stay off the brakes.

I ran out of money... ... and I have been cut off!My last modify will be arriving later today: Mavic CrossMax SLR wheels - I'll let you know the weight and will compare it with ZTR Crest wheels from NoTubes. The mavic have proven themselves to me in the past as being very durable, super stable... and even offering a much nicer ride that's seemed more predictable. Completed bike photo to come (soon). Time to ride now.
